These Hale90s definitely don't break often. I've only found 2 other instances online where a hale90 had died. Both of those were 1000w units and neither damaged any other components. I guess I had to be the lucky one to get the only exploding unit. Not much has happened with this in the last few days. Still waiting to hear from NZXT on what to do. I hope this doesn't equal too much down time as I'd like to get this sorted asap. Being without a decent system sucks the donk.
